Elton John stopped playing full acoustic Grand Piano's in de late 80's and switched to the Roland RD-1000 Digital Piano. After that, he began using top of the line Yamaha Grand Piano's during concerts. But, and this is important, he didn't and still doesn't use the acoustic sound of the Yamaha. His piano's are MIDI and he uses the Roland MKS-20 Sound Module (the one from the Roland RD-1000 Digital Piano) and he also uses a Yamaha Motif Rack to create his live piano sound. Those two things, the Roland Sound Module and the Yamaha Motif Rack, form about 80% of the piano's sound during concerts. The other 20% is the acoustic sound of the piano, which is negligible. So that is why his piano's sound so high in pitch, it's an electronic sound and he likes it that way. One of the reasons is because you can hear him playing during rock songs. The sound of an acoustic piano practically disappears when there are drums and guitars. So maybe you don't like the sound of it, but you can't say it's cheap or garbage because frankly it takes some work and technical knowledge to recreate his live piano sound ;-)

I loved the MKS 20 it’s probably the best module I ever used. I was on the road with it for several years and eventually just gave out if Elton has one I wonder how he keeps it working they haven’t made those in probably 30 years maybe longer. He used to always only plays Steinway grand I think but he must have some kind of endorsement deal now with Yamaha!

Elton didn't even practice when he was in Royal Academy of Music in London for five years before he turned pro. He just improvised his way through by remembering every note he heard of a piece of music and replaying it live. The only other person I ever heard of who could do that was Mozart.

Sir Elton FREQUENTLY plays classical music in his private digs, just like other knowledgeable rockers, eg, Billy Joel, who understand that the foundations of their craft has underpinnings of the historical roots where all pianoforte history began. In terms of musical history the invention of the unparalleled range dynamic of the pianoforte is a very recent addition to music; you could call it one of the infant musical instruments just as the saxophone is. Rock and roll is but a most primitive expression of the more controlled and disciplined studies of more delicate and subtle themes and motifs of classical music. Having said all this, just like Eric Clapton I've got a rock 'n roll heart. There's something about the primitive that has appeal to most people.

I have collected over a thousand bootleg recordings of his concerts in the 1970s when he used a real piano. There is never an instance when his piano isn’t forefront in the mix (even during the rockers). And this was in the early stages of large live concert sound systems. There is absolutely no comparison between a real acoustic piano and the awful sounding digital pianos he’s been using since the late 80s (which he began using when they sounded absolutely terrible). For anyone who plays piano (or has a fine tuned ear) a digital piano is anathema. I don’t care how much technology had been poured into developing the sound; there is no way a digital instrument can emulate the sound of an acoustic instrument. It’s like saying a cyborg will one day replicate a human being. There are natural acoustic phenomena that simply cannot be replicated by an electronic device. The human ear is too perfect to be fooled. As a musician and a fan of Elton; I connect his abandonment of acoustic piano to the decline of his artistic integrity. It’s no coincidence he began using digital pianos around the time he was at his lowest as a drug addict and alcoholic. I had hoped his rehabilitation in the early ‘90s would bring about an artistic rebirth. When he released a duet with Ru Paul I realized that wasn’t going to happen. Something happened to Elton that shifted him from being all about the music to being more about the celebrity. In his early days he often said his greatest wish was to become a legend like Mae West or Groucho Marx (both of whom were comedians). I think he succeeded. Sorry.

Yes, he played a piece from "The Great Discovery". There are clips of the whole song on KZbin. He sang/played it with an orchestra on his "Live In Australia (With The Melbourne Symphony)" in 1986 & the clip of it is on KZbin. He'd come to the end of a huge concert tour & his voice was suffering (as you will hear if/when you play/listen to it) such that he had to undergo throat surgery in Australia, as soon as the tour ended.

From the sound of the comments I think his fans want him to give up that old Roland electric grand sound box gimmick that he has been using since the eighties.. In other words they want to hear him play a real piano not a synthesizer..

Bota pilha nele conversando sobre música, que não tem mais fim. Aí gosta mesmo do que faz. É uma das coisas que eu acho legal também no Elton John.

Play in a little piano sounds like that, he used to play with Yamaha piano. Those pianos are good to beginners.

Thats a real acoustic piano. It has midi. The cables are ran to the back of the stage where his rack unit is with all the sound modules. That bright electric tone you hear is a Roland MKS-20 hes used since the 80s and he layers that sound with an acoustic sound from another rack unit. Its really bright here cause its not mixed right. The electric is to high. He uses this mainly so the piano sound cuts thru the mix of his live band so it can be heard but its also taste he likes the sound I dont blame him its very nice when tuned properly
